Hi to everyone. I use a MATLAB code to draw a graph. the legends are too big and cover a part of the graph. I wanted to make it in 2 columns. i saw some solutions on the net which explain how to change the functions to make the legend in multiple columns. However, my program reads the data from an excel file and their solutions don't work for me. Could anybody please help me to solve this issue? Sorry if my question is naive, I'm not good in MATLAB. I also birng my code here:
A=xlsread('C:\temp.xlsx','A1:A10');
B=xlsread('C:\temp.xlsx','B1:B10');
C=xlsread('C:\temp.xlsx','C1:C10');
D=xlsread('C:\temp.xlsx','D1:D10');
E=xlsread('C:\temp.xlsx','E1:E10');
F=xlsread('C:\temp.xlsx','F1:F10');
G=xlsread('C:\temp.xlsx','G1:G10');
plot(A,B,A,C,A,D,A,E,A,F,A,G)
hold on;
axis([10 100 -10 0])
xlabel('length')
ylabel('BER')
legend('AAAAAAAAAA','BBBBBBBBBB','CCCCCCCCCC','DDDDDDDDDD','EEEEEEEEEEE','FFFFFFFFFF')

Thanks for your response, but could you please tell me how can I rewrite my legend command using your legend command? I have 6 parameters and want to make it into 2* 3 parameters.

You can specify the location outside
A=0:0.1:10
B=sin(A)
C=cos(A)
D=B.^2
E=C.^2
F=A.^2/100
G=-F
plot(A,B,A,C,A,D,A,E,A,F,A,G)
%hold on;
%axis([10 100 -10 0])
xlabel('length')
ylabel('BER')
leg={'AAAAAAAAAA','BBBBBBBBBB','CCCCCCCCCC','DDDDDDDDDD','EEEEEEEEEEE','FFFFFFFFFF'}
legend(leg,'Location','EastOutside')

Thanks Azzi, but an error appears, that "leg" is unidentified variable or class. BTW what would be the output? the location doesn't matter. because I can move the legend inside the graph. I just want to make it into 2 column to can fit it in empty space

Like I said, look at File Exchange contributions, copy <http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/27389-columnlegend/content//columnlegend/columnlegend.m this function> and use it.
leg={'AAAAAAAA','BBBBBBBB','CCCCCCCC','DDDDDDDD','EEEEEEEEE','FFFFFFFF'}
[legend_h,object_h,plot_h,text_strings] = columnlegend(2, leg)
